I dare not drive, how should I do?

Yes, there are. I was very scared to drive and did find some things that helped.

Where are you? What type of area are you trying to drive in?

Not helpful, @bigboss. This appears to be someone who is not a native speaker of English. We can be a little more understanding, I think.

Get someone to take you to a parking lot so you can get used to the feel of the car.

Have someone take you to an empty parking lot. Practice there. No cars (or few cars), nothing to worry about.

This answer may not be on target due to interpretation difficulties. In the future, could you double check your grammar a bit more before posting?

I recommend these tips for overcoming driving phobia.

I remember when I took my license. It was scary, and I felt like handling a weapon. The only thing you can do in my opinion, is to drive and drive and get experience. Talk with someone, and try to have people driving with you. In time you will overcome this.

Is this a title of a lost Dr. Seuss book?

@Sarcasm is exactly right, go to an empty parking lot to start. There you are free from the stresses of other drivers, and you can get the basics down. When you become more comfortable and confident in the empty parking lot, you can move to the main roads.

Best of luck!

It is very normal to be hesitant about driving at first. Start by going short distances, go by yourself at first so you can concentrate on what you’re doing, and don’t listen to any music.

If these good suggestions do not help you overcome your driving phobia, some behaviour therapy may be very helpful.

I was thinking that this questioner might not be in an area where parking lots are available and possibly might be needing to drive where the rules and conditions are different from those of the responders.

Being afraid to drive is not necessarily a driving phobia; that is, it might not be a treatable condition of any kind, but rather, a healthy and reasonable terror. Perhaps the questioner is looking for suggestions such as these:

1. Don’t drive with children in the car until you are comfortable driving alone. If you want to practice first, get a tape recorder and record the kids carrying on and screaming, and then try driving around with that tape playing so you get used to it.

2. Practice with a calm friend and not a family member, especially not someone who shouts when he gets agitated.

3. Don’t try to carry on a conversation when you’re practicing. Just concentrate. If you have to ask for silence, ask for silence. (Even music can be distracting.)

4. Don’t be afraid to talk yourself through things out loud, reciting things you learned in your lessons, planning your next step, giving yourself encouragement, etc. For a long time my mantra was just “Steady, steady, steady.” I also recited things my teacher said, such as “If it looks like you’re turning, you have to turn,” “Gotta go, gotta go, gotta go,” and “Count to three and creep, creep, creep.”

5. If you need to pause and sort things out, pull over (if you can do it safely) and stop while you figure out what to do next.

6. Don’t worry about looking stupid. Worry about being safe.

7. Don’t let some idiot get you rattled, even if he yells at you.

8. Don’t let anybody push you to go faster than you want to go. But if you can’t keep up with the prevailing speed, get off that road and take a back route. Going too slow can cause accidents too.

9. Carefully plan the route you want to take. It’s okay to write it out in big letters that you can see on the seat beside you. Be sure to include how to get back and also what street you’ll see if you’ve missed your turn and gone too far.

10. Always have a map.

11. Remember that there are new drivers on the road every single day.

12. Remember that you are out there with sick people, old people, crazy people, agry people, stupid people, and mean people. Watch out and don’t assume they’re all getter at it than you.

13. Don’t get into arguments with anything bigger than you are.

14. If somebody wants the whole road, just let him have it.

And one more that I followed from day 1:

15. If the kids are fighting in the back, pull over and stop and refuse to go further until they quit. If necessary, take them home.

I used to say frequently on every trip, like for about the first year, “Do not startle the driver.”

It can take a good year, maybe longer, to get comfortable behind the wheel. Give yourself time. Youngsters who think they were born to drive and old hands who’ve been at it for half a century just don’t seem to understand how much of a challenge it can be to some of us.

I was a relatively old learner and very nervous when I took lessons. And then I had my license for three years before I got a car (I couldn’t drive my husband’s stick shift). So by the time I got out there with my foot on the accelerator, I was petrified. The above suggestions are some of the things that helped me.

My family was very patient and understanding. That helped a lot too.

Try driving during week days when people are at work or on Sunday mornings when people are in church or sleeping. You’ll be able to drive without getting beeped at, and you’ll also be able to take your time and get the hang of driving.

Edit:

12. Remember that you are out there with sick people, old people, crazy people, angry people, stupid people, and mean people. Watch out and don’t assume they’re all better at it than you.

Parking lots are good, as are quiet streets.
@oratio What? Weapons aren’t scary! :)

My wife is a bit scared herself, and for the first year she had her license, she would not drive herself to work since there was a 45 MPH zone between our house and her job. Hell, she would even do the 35 MPH, four-lane “main drags” in town.

However, after a while of driving around quiet side streets and realizing that they car wasn’t going to kill her, she gradually got to where she could handle that 45 zone, then worked her way up (after another coupe of years) to a state highway.

I was so proud of her when she got a ticket for doing 74 in a 45 zone :D

When I first started driving, I was scared shitless. I always had my ex take me everywhere. It took me almost a year and a half in order for me to feel comfortable.
It will be uncomfortable but stick to driving during the day.

It’s intelligent to be fearful, a car really is a weapon unless handled well, you are being responsible. Good for you. Take it a little bit at a time. We all felt the same way, unless we were fools. You are not a fool.

I enjoy the freedom driving gives you and I enjoy taking my girlfriend around to things she needs to go and just cruising around town with her but It is not something to be taken lightly. I have had my share of misfortunes and some pretty scary moments behind the wheel which brings you to one real truth… Never loose respect of the fact that you are driving a potential weapon and that other people on the road do not have your best intrests at heart.
